Travel with guns
When you are a full timer what issues are there with having a gun for protection? Restrictions when crossing state lines? Thank you.

Ok.. This subject gets tricky....
Motor homes.... Gun can be in the rear of living quarters... While in motion must be unloaded.... Parked, setup not in travel mode... It's your home. Residence logic applies... The gun can't be loaded anywhere near the vehicle/cab unless your are active LE or have a ccw honored in the states your are traveling through.
Trailer... All day long... Separate objects... I'd probably get a warrant to search the trailer, but I'd need PC anyway.... If I have probable cause to search the truck, I don't need a warrant..
This topic can get really in depth...
Part of the reason it gets so in depth is because of the varying state (and sometimes local) laws. Some states do NOT require a non-LEO to have a CCW for a LOADED gun in your vehicle. Yes, that is right! Some states treat a vehicle to be the same as your home.
As always, YMMV and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know and follow the law wherever you are. Don't take the word of someone on the Internet. Not everything you read on the Internet is true.
